With a growing Armenian-American community across the Western United States, the campaign aims to ensure that every eligible Armenian-American is registered, informed, and empowered to vote in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe 2026 elections are a pivotal opportunity for the Armenian American community to assert its voice on local, state, and national levels,\u201d<\/em> said ANCA-WR Chairperson <strong>Oshin Harootoonian<\/strong>. <em>\u201cWe\u2019re relaunching HyeVotes not only to register voters but to cultivate a culture of lifelong civic participation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, HyeVotes coordinated a multi-faceted civic participation campaign designed to walk first-time and disadvantaged voters through the entire political process. The components of the program include: voter registration, voter education, voter mobilization, voter assistance, voter research, and voting rights advocacy. Since its inception, HyeVotes&#8217; efforts have resulted in over 50,000 new or re-registered Armenian voters and an unprecedented turnout in the elections by the Armenian-American community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HyeVotes is also rolling out a statewide volunteer recruitment drive to build a network of civic advocates committed to helping community members overcome barriers to registration and participation, including language accessibility, misinformation, and voter apathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVoting is not just a right\u2014it\u2019s a responsibility,\u201d added Alex Manoukian, Director of HyeVotes. \u201cThis campaign is about showing Armenian-Americans the power of their vote and how it shapes the future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information or to get involved, visit<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyevotes.org\"> www.HyeVotes.org<\/a> or follow @HyeVotes on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Armenian National Committee of America \u2013 Western Region (ANCA-WR) is proud to announce the official relaunch of its HyeVotes initiative, a grassroots civic engagement campaign aimed to increase Armenian-American voter registration, education, and turnout in advance of the 2026 primary and midterm elections.
